We study the quantum backflow problem in the noncommutative plane. In particular, we have considered a charged particle with and without an oscillator interaction with noncommuting momentum operators and examined angular momentum backflow in each case and how they differ from each other. We also propose a probability associated with the occurence of angular momentum backflow and investigate whether or not the probability depends on a physical parameter, namely the magnetic field.

Suppose a classical electron is confined to move in the $xy$ plane under the influence of a constant magnetic field in the positive $z$ direction. It then traverses a circular orbit with a fixed positive angular momentum $L_z$ with respect to the cen ter of its orbit. It is an underappreciated fact that the quantum wave functions of electrons in the ground state (the so-called lowest Landau level) have an azimuthal dependence $propto exp(-imphi) $ with $mgeq 0$, seemingly in contradiction with the classical electron having positive angular momentum. We show here that the gauge-independent meaning of that quantum number $m$ is not angular momentum, but that it quantizes the distance of the center of the electrons orbit from the origin, and that the physical angular momentum of the electron is positive and independent of $m$ in the lowest Landau levels. We note that some textbooks and some of the original literature on the fractional quantum Hall effect do find wave functions that have the seemingly correct azimuthal form $proptoexp(+imphi)$ but only on account of changing a sign (e.g., by confusing different conventions) somewhere on the way to that result.
We consider a noncommutative field theory with space-time $star$-commutators based on an angular noncommutativity, namely a solvable Lie algebra: the Euclidean in two dimension. The $star$-product can be derived from a twist operator and it is shown to be invariant under twisted Poincare transformations. In momentum space the noncommutativity manifests itself as a noncommutative $star$-deformed sum for the momenta, which allows for an equivalent definition of the $star$-product in terms of twisted convolution of plane waves. As an application, we analyze the $lambda phi^4$ field theory at one-loop and discuss its UV/IR behaviour. We also analyze the kinematics of particle decay for two different situations: the first one corresponds to a splitting of space-time where only space is deformed, whereas the second one entails a non-trivial $star$-multiplication for the time variable, while one of the three spatial coordinates stays commutative.

The dynamics of a spin--1/2 neutral particle possessing electric and magnetic dipole moments interacting with external electric and magnetic fields in noncommutative coordinates is obtained. Noncommutativity of space is interposed in terms of a semic lassical constrained Hamiltonian system. The relation between the quantum phase acquired by a particle interacting with an electromagnetic field and the (semi)classical force acting on the system is examined and generalized to establish a formulation of the quantum phases in noncommutative coordinates. The general formalism is applied to physical systems yielding the Aharonov-Bohm, Aharonov-Casher, He-McKellar-Wilkens and Anandan phases in noncommutative coordinates. Bounds for the noncommutativity parameter theta are derived comparing the deformed phases with the experimental data on the Aharonov-Bohm and Aharonov-Casher phases.
A useful concept in the development of physical models on the $kappa$-Minkowski noncommutative spacetime is that of a curved momentum space. This structure is not unique: several inequivalent momentum space geometries have been identified. Some are a ssociated to a different assumption regarding the signature of spacetime (i.e. Lorentzian vs. Euclidean), but there are inequivalent momentum spaces that can be associated to the same signature and even the same group of symmetries. Moreover, in the literature there are two approaches to the definition of these momentum spaces, one based on the right- (or left-)invariant metrics on the Lie group generated by the $kappa$-Minkowski algebra. The other is based on the construction of $5$-dimensional matrix representation of the $kappa$-Minkowski coordinate algebra. Neither approach leads to a unique construction. Here, we find the relation between these two approaches and introduce a unified approach, capable of describing all momentum spaces, and identify the corresponding quantum group of spacetime symmetries. We reproduce known results and get a few new ones. In particular, we describe the three momentum spaces associated to the $kappa$-Poincare group, which are half of a de Sitter, anti-de Sitter or Minkowski space, and we identify what distinguishes them. Moreover, we find a new momentum space with the geometry of a light cone, associated to a $kappa$-deformation of the Carroll group.
Free-space communication allows one to use spatial mode encoding, which is susceptible to the effects of diffraction and turbulence. Here, we discuss the optimum communication modes of a system while taking such effects into account. We construct a f ree-space communication system that encodes information onto the plane-wave (PW) modes of light. We study the performance of this system in the presence of atmospheric turbulence, and compare it with previous results for a system employing orbital-angular-momentum (OAM) encoding. We are able to show that the PW basis is the preferred basis set for communication through atmospheric turbulence for a large Fresnel number system. This study has important implications for high-dimensional quantum key distribution systems.
